They are joined by Taylor Lautner, David Henrie, Oliver Cooper, Nick Swardson and Cheri Oteri.

Gregson-Williams’ music can currently be heard in theaters in the comedy Here Comes the Boom starring Kevin James.
Poor Rupert…he always just gets this horrible comedys…
Talanted composer, but man he’s like a slave to Happy Madison.
Have you heard if a soundtrack is going to be released for all the music in the movie?
